Design Research
Every project I undertake addresses diving deep into the primary research question, the stakeholders involved, their needs and behavior, and the positioning of the ecosystem toward the question and stakeholders so involved.
Service Design
As a key tool used, Service Design has helped me identify the roles that every stakeholder and shareholder play in the current situation and how the evolution towards the said change in the product, service or programs can be impact their roles independently and individuals.
Business Design
Blending the nuances of the business to design products, services and programs that are holistic, I help identify the intrinsic value of the solution/intervention so designed. The aim remains to fuse the needs of the business with the needs of the planet.
Some organizations I have supported and learned from..

High-risks, fragility, and a lot more.
Parsons MS SDM Symposium '23 Awardee
A platform that is looking for a happier, healthier future, I AM was born in the midst of a global health crisis. Over the past three years anxiety, depression, and disordered eating have been on the rise, while we as a society continue to demonize our bodies for the states in which they exist. The platform aims to empower people to feel their best, holistically, with the power of their data.

In which ways can we articulate or reimagine our environments with design interventions? The Good Interventions Exhibition’23, building upon the foundations of the inaugural competition and exhibition in 2022 amalgamates the strengths of design and social sciences to tackle questions of power.

You are fueled by the drive to learn. I have observed you enjoy being involved in different projects, even if acting as a silent observer. Your approach to projects is holistic - you consider the business, technology and people to design.'
